So hard to get at my stash...

So it's hotter than the hubs of hell today. Tristan is tired, Charlotte has found a new show on Netflix about Australian teens who turn into mermaids whenever they get wet and Ave needs to stay inside since she has had far too much sun in the last couple of days (and refuses to wear her hat). So the kids are milling around the house while Brad works on creating a deck outside (he is gonna get burned...I just know it!).

While playing a game of Battleship with T, dealing with a buggy YouTube Elmo playlist and fetching snacks and bevies for C, I played with this Twisted Sketches challenge....


DP Used: Basic Grey Hello Luscious

Positive note of the day: The kids had so much fun yesterday at Calaway especially Ave. Everytime I had to take her out of the ride, she just lost it. I would then have to assure her that I would find another ride right away just so the other kids could get on!

I must say I'm glad that my boys would roundly declare a mermaid show "For GIRLS, ew!" Sometimes that's a bonus ;)

Whether or not you'd consider it, I wonder if you know that lots of amusement-type parks provide special passes for families with special-needs kids to bypass lines? I know Ave's still little & toddlers hate waiting in general, but it might be worth asking to streamline things, you never know.

I really like the open frame element with the border strip...lots of visual interest here :)
